The short answer is probably "no."

Bloatif and XForms each have their own notions about how events are to
be handled and who is in charge of the event loop. About the only
way I can see of doing it cleanly is to spawn a new process which
fires up XForms and displays the plot.

You may want to look at other graphing applications like plotmtv or
xgraph which you can run as popen()ed processes.
